Friday Frivolity: Hiatus

I just posted yesterday about no-bid contracts in Washington, DC, so I think I should come clean and admit that I have been awarded a no-bid contract to write a chapter on Hans Kelsen in the U.S. for a forthcoming collection of essays on the most important legal theorist of the twentieth century. If you are scratching your head and wondering who Hans Kelsen (below) is or whether I am joking when I call him the most important legal theorist of the twentieth century, then you already understand why it is no great scandal that there was no proper bidding process for the job of recounting his three-decade sojourn in the United States. I will get paid something less that entity awarded the $6.9 million no-bid contract featured in yesterday’s post

That said, being on the receiving end such a no-bid contract is not all fun and games. I need to step away from the blog for some time and steep myself in the Kelsen literature that has come out in the decade or so since I last wrote on this topic. So, while I will post any guest contributions that I receive and may not be able to resist the temptation of an occasional post, you dear reader, are invited to turn your attention elsewhere for the next few months.

Enjoy the sound of one obsessive-compulsive not blogging.
